Five for five, baby. Yep, we have had five Cristina/Owen kisses in a row. Season six is eons away in my memory (excepting the few awesome moments we had between them, of course – you know which ones I mean). Now, I wasn’t expecting anything on the Cristina and Owen front, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t desperately hoping for one. And boy did we get a great one! But (a lot) more on that later. First, let’s talk about Cristina. Continue reading →

Cristina and Owen are moving out! And hopefully, it will be a faster transition than Meredith and Derek’s. (How is the dream house construction going?) At least Owen and Cristina have a head start since they’re not building from the ground up. And I have a feeling that we’ll see them move into it this season. (And, if the writers love us, someone will slide down that pole. Maybe in celebration of Cristina’s healing? That would be the ultimate double hitter of awesomeness. Yes, Riss, I used a baseball term…I think.)

There wasn’t too much Cristina and Owen in this episode, but the tapeworm patient’s storyline was clearly a not-so-subtle parallel for Cristina’s current struggle with her loss of who she was. And to keep from sounding repetitive, I’m simply going to summarize that entire plot instead of going scene by scene.

We passed the three-episode test, ladies and gentlemen! Already, this season is kicking last season’s butt in a major way. And it’s all because … Cristina and Owen are married! There are some serious perks to having our favorite couple being married. I love it.

Even though we didn’t get too much screen time with Cristina and Owen, I don’t think anyone really noticed. Because the two scenes they did have together? They were perfection. And the sense of Cristina and Owen wanting to be with each other was very much present in scenes that they weren’t in together. It’s like season five … only better. We do not have to be satisfied only with stolen glances and loaded exchanges – though those were fantastic. They’re married! They can touch each other all they want. So awesome, right?

What a great episode. Without trying to jinx it, it really seems like this season is starting off on the right foot and heading in a great direction for our couple. (Next episode will be the true test of the season, as that was when things started going downhill a bit last season.) There was so much good stuff in this episode: funny, sweet, heartbreaking – it had it all. This was the jumpstart that Cristina and Owen’s relationship – and the show – needed. And boy were we spoiled with Cristina and Owen awesomeness. Let’s get this post started and jump right into the goodies. And needless to say, this is going to be a super long one. (Yay!)

“They say that lightning never strikes twice, but that’s a myth.” And it really is. Who would’ve thought that Cristina would ever walk down that aisle again? Without needing to be kicked down it, no less – as Meredith was prepared to do the last time around. Say it with me: Cristina and Owen are married. And as we fade into the scene of them waking up in their hotel room bed, with proof of their nuptials from the night before, the fact that they really are married just gets driven all the way home.

Cristina’s wedding dress and Owen’s white button-down shirt lay at the foot of the bed. Champagne sits in an ice bucket to the side of the bed. Owen strokes Cristina’s hair as he watches her slowly wake up. I love the look on Cristina’s face when she responds to Owen’s “morning” with one of her own. Her brows furrow in slight confusion as the fact that she’s married hasn’t quite caught up to her semi-awake brain yet. And Owen’s just lying there, waiting for the inevitable moment of realization that, yes, they are really married.
